Hold the BackPage – A Woman’s Touch

With Tom Fox galavanting in the countryside, Neil Sherwin takes the hot seat this week and is joined by Ger McCarthy to round up the latest Premier League action, while Football Italiano’s Mina Rzouki is on board to preview Serie A which kicks off this weekend.

The podcast is back for another week but regular presenter Tom is MIA. Neil takes the lead and chats with Ger about the weekend’s football which saw an impressive win for Manchester United and a not so impressive result for Arsenal. There’s some transfer gossip to get through and also a look forward to some of the coming weekend’s games as Ger’s Tottenham Hotspur take on Neil’s Manchester City, a clash that will no doubt provide much chat for next week’s show.

In the second half of the spod, Serie A expert Mina Rzouki joins Neil and Ger to offer some insight ahead of the newseason. She brings us up to speed with all the transfer ins and outs, offers some expectations for the coming year, and speaks passionately about her beloved Juventus who have again brought in plenty of new faces. Mina also endears herself to the lads by expressing her admiration for pod favourite Mario Balotelli.
